Compared to many other places in East Sussex, Eastbourne offers good-value property prices. However, property investors can find better value if they look further north. For instance, Liverpool has an average property price of £180,268 – £100,000 cheaper than Eastbourne. Liverpool also has a superior average rental yield compared to Eastbourne.
Eastbourne is considerably less well-connected to other parts of the country than somewhere like Liverpool, which has direct train services to London, Manchester and Birmingham. This affects the town’s appeal to tenants who like to travel.
While Eastbourne is a tourist-centric town, Liverpool has an even more impressive thriving tourist economy, attracting millions of yearly visitors. As such, buy-to-let investors could enjoy more profits with holiday lets and short-term rentals than they would in Eastbourne.
